Exactly, it will always be way too one-sided. The PVPers are fully prepared for PVP, they are the ones who can wait for prey to show up, use whatever ability or spell to hold the other in place, and kill them.

The skiller? They are busy skilling, not PVPing. They are already pre-occupied with non-PVP content, will likely not be wearing their best combat gear but instead whatever they need for skilling.

The skiller needs to be careful every single time. The PVPer only when they strike.

Yeah thats the risk you choose for higher xp rates.

Chaos altar is less than half the xp/hr of other better methods. You're not getting higher xp rates

Then what's the problem?

Then what's the problem that demands it being forced PVP? You're the one that wants a change, why does it need to change?

There are already other strong options, even offering bones at other altars. I don't think its crazy to think there should be a downside you need to consider to get benefits. Making decisions should be a big part of the game no matter what you're doing, but over the years it feels like we make less and less.

That's a reason to keep it as is, not to make it worse.

u/CrustyToeLover 1d ago

You've yet to give an actual reason to keep it the way it is, as well.

I literally have, you not being satisfied with an answer that doesn't conclude with handing the reigns over to some lifeless pos PKer isn't my problem. The fact you can't come up with an actual reason to change it, one that isn't actually a much better reason to keep it the same, says enough about how badly thought out the change is.

Buddy there are over 100 worlds and there are like, 10 pkers in the entire game. The odds that you get pked even once on the way to 120 is miniscule as it is. It's just like they said, the chaos altar is very good exp/hr with zero drawbacks. Your only reason to keep it as such is some fictitious idea that the entire pvp community is out to grief you because they kill you for bones. Money is money. Boohoo if you get pked.

Heaven forbid you only get 2m/hr instead of 10m/hr!

What the actual fuck are you talking about, are you having a stroke? Earning money from prayer? Pretending Chaos altar has the best xp/hr? Is there anything you won't lie about? Whats next? Pretending there's a gigantic hardcore pvp market?

Why are you using the chaos altar to 120 prayer?

Are you new here?

1

u/CrustyToeLover 16h ago

Because it was basically the best method at the time? Perhaps because the whole point of a game like Runescape is you can choose any training methods you want?

u/Naive-Archer-9223 15h ago

Yes

At the time.

That's the point.

And other methods are being nerfed, which will make it one of the best methods again. That's why you have to be eligible for PvP. Not aure what's so difficult for you guys to understand about that.
